During the Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple introduced Breathe app for the new update on Apple Watch, watchOS3.

The breathing focus session is set by watchOS by default, is once in every four hours. Every four hours, a Breather notification will pop up. The user will then decide whether to begin the session or snooze it. Also, there is a dedicated Breathe application on the screen together with a new Breathe compilation that can be used to add faces in the watch. On the Breathe application on the screen, the user can start a breathing session whenever he chooses to, MacRumors reported.

In the beginning of each session, the application asks the user to stay still and focus full attention in breathing. The Apple Watch will then display mandala-like circles in concentric pattern that gradually expands to guide the users to adjust their breath rate.

The display is accompanied by a feedback on the wrist. The haptic feedback initiates a tapping rhythm that begins fast then slowly fades to cue each breathe and signal for exhale. Through this technology, the users can use the application even with eyes closed. There is also an option in the application's settings that allows the user to adjust the intensity of the feedback.

Once the breathing session is finished, the application will show a summary that let the users know how many Breathe sessions they have been completes today including with the measurement of the last session's heart rate. A "Breathe Again" button is also presented to the user to let them choose whether to continue or not.

The idea of the new Breathe application is to help manage stress and focus on breathing. Default settings of this application includes one minute session that guides the users through seven deep breaths. The app can also be adjusted to slow down to four breaths in one minute or go faster up to ten breaths per minute, Apple Insider reported.

There is a free update, watchOS 3 for all Apple Watches that will be arriving this fall. For now, the developers have put it in beta for testing.
